ProQOL

ProQOL Manual

This is the November 2010 Edition which supports ProQOL 5

There are very few changes between the 2009 and 2010 editions. The cover and front matter have been updated. Some typos were identified and corrected. A completely revised bibliography was added.

This page is for the most current versions of the ProQOL Manuals. The manuals are dated so that you can make sure you have the most current manual. The ProQOL 5 is the current version of the measures know as the Compassion Satisfaction and Fatigue Test, the Compassion Fatigue Test and the Compassion Fatigue Self-Test. We no longer support earlier versions of the ProQOL and strongly advise that they not be used due to the known psychometric problems.

The ProQOL materials, the test and the manuals, may be freely copied as long as

(a) the author is credited,

(b) no changes are made other than those authorized, and
